Question about merging 2 domains....
by Guest FombyJambox- 0 replies
- 172 views
I have big job ahead of me and really need some help getting pointed in the right direction so here goes: I have a 2003 domain that covers my HQ office and 2 remote sites. I also have another site that has a 2000 domain. I need to get the site with 2000 on the same domain as the rest of the orgainization. The remote site only consists of about 40 users so I'm thinking about just putting a 2003 DC on site and then creating user accounts from scratch. It seems with so few users this might be easier than trying to upgrade the existing domain and then merge them somehow. My main concerns (at this point) are about moving the SQL2000 server between domai…

Hi, I am having a problem connecting from Domain Controller "A" to Domain Controller "B" using the Computer Management console (compmgmt.msc). While logged on as domain admin, I open compmgmt.msc and can view the local event logs but cannot view the event logs on Domain Controller B. The odd thing is that DC "A" and DC "B" can both use cpmpmgmt.msc to connect to DC "C" and view the logs on that domain controller. but "A" and "B" cannot connect to each other. Any advice on how to correct this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- bb

Unlock Computer Window and System Login Screen Greyed Out
by Guest Bryan Smith- 1 reply
- 189 views
Hello, I have a server running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard, and starting today, when the session locks, the 'Unlock Computer' window will grey out and disable the username and password fields. The only resolution I have found is to reboot the server, however, since this server is pretty important in our environment, I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to resolve without the repeated reboots. This is happening to the lockout/login screens from Remote Desktop sessions, VNC sessions, and from the system console.

Cannot make connection with RAS server behind firewall.
by Guest John N- 3 replies
- 294 views
I have been struggling to get my remote access server to work. The symptoms are somewhat inconsistent, and I’m guessing that I missed something major here. I have two servers behind my firewall, a netopia 3386-ENT. One is providing web and mail services, and the other is a domain controller. Both are W2K3 fully patched. Our ISP issued us a /248 network giving us 6 usable IP addresses. The netopia is part of an enterprise network comprised of three site to site VPNs, both connecting to this network. The VPNs connect using a PPTP connection. I’m trying to get users to authenticate to the domain controller using RAS, and I’ve assigned one of the p…

Hello all. I have several branch servers that use ntbackup for nightly backups. These backups are performed on Quantum DAT72 tapes, usually running on Adaptec SCSI controllers. The OS for the servers are Windows 2003 Service Pack 2. There seems to be a problem appearing with some of the tapes from the branch servers. We regularly ship tapes to H/O for testing and restoring information, but several of them can be read from our server at H/O. Our H/O server is running on similar hardware and OS but is using backup exec 11. When cataloguing the tapes, it gives and error about the block size being used is incorrect. I used the tape utility that comes wi…

SVCHOST.exe causing excessive paging.
by Guest Chris Coates- 2 replies
- 225 views
I have a Win 2003 X64 server that is a dedicated SQL 2005 server. I have noticed excessive paging going on, (Over 530 page faults per second), and tracked it down to svchost.exe. I know that the server is not having memory issues. It is using just 5GB of the 20GB installed. Any suggestions what would cause excessive paging from svchost.exe, especially when there is so much RAM avaliable? Thanks Chris

We have our print server and our major application running on the same windows 2003 server. Lately we have been having some problem with running print application. We are trying to track down what is happening, with little luck. I am wondering if it is a good idea having the print server and application server on the same systems?

Hi, I have an access database that is shared by the network users. These users tend to forget to close the applications when they finish their work at the end of the day. This makes the server unable to backup the file (being open). Can someone advice me how to gracefully close the file when all users are longer using the db (even though their application might still be open)? Thanks

We run only xp and server 2003 at our school I can ping, and \\servername to the servers, but they are not visible in any of the trees. Any ideas how to resolve this? Client machines are visible. Would it be because of the DHCP scope, i.e. not displaying reserved addresses ? Any ideas would help quite a bit. Thank you!

Apparently some protion of the telephony service components is damanged on a Windows 2003 server. The telephony service will not start and when you use the telephony snap in, you cannont manage any providers. In fact the providers is greyed out and no providers are listed for the server. If anyone knows a way to restore this service I would appreciate the input. Thanks in advance.
